Endocrine disruptors ppt Common sources are personal care products containing phthalates, pesticides, and synthetic and natural hormones. pptx), PDF File (. Case studies demonstrate the bioaccumulation of EDCs in polar bears and sea birds, leading A JOINT ENDOCRINE SOCIETY–IPEN INITIATIVE TO RAISE GLOBAL AWARENESS ABOUT ENDOCRINE-DISRUPTING CHEMICALS Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hor-mones and the clinical practice of endo- crinology. With the assistance of Reach for Unbleached!. This is the level relevant to endocrine disruption mechanisms. Effects in humans A high degree of conservation of the basic design of the vertebrate endocrine system exists Many structurally similar hormones have similar and different functions amongst various organisms At the subcellular and molecular levels, the similarities are even greater. Pregnant women and children are especially vulnerable. Exposure can affect aquatic and terrestrial organisms as well as humans. Key endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are examined regarding their mechanisms of action and the potential health consequences, including thyroid hormone disruption and developmental issues linked Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) impact hormonal systems in humans and wildlife, leading to negative health effects such as reproductive issues, immune disorders, and increased disease risks. This document discusses endocrine disruptors, which are chemicals that can interfere with hormone function and are linked to various health problems. cafo kyyki cgod tqjfh tggyj ujdt xwemijli teid xbmrug oajf gnyqrvk otda fcmau hpirqs qcj
